House.
Robson, 507
Dr. Brown, 548
Thrasher, 1,007
Ditts, 955
We have not been able to procure the vote
at each separate precinct; when we do so, we
will publish it.
It will be seen that Brown’s majority in this
county is 107. This is no indication of his
strength among the voters of our own county.
There are two regiments of soldiers in this
county, a majority of whom voted for Brown.
His real strength can be approximated by con.
trasting the average vote of Robson and Dr.
Brown with that of Thrasher and Pitts. This
will give Nisbet a majority of 453 in Fulton—
which is about the relative strength of the two
candidates in Fulton county.
The Election.
Verbal reports state that all the counties on
the line of the Georgia Rail Road, from Rich
mond to Fulton, have gone for Brown. In
Northern Georgia, Floyd, Cass, Cobb and Whit
field have gone for Nisbet. Catoosa has given
a majority for Brown. In Middle Georgia, Put
nam, Wilkinson, Twiggs, Pulaski, Crawford,
Butts, Spalding, Upson and Monroe have all
given majorities for Brown. South of us, Mus=
cogee, Sumter, Houston, Butler and Talbot
are reported for Brown.
Our impression is that Brown is re-elected
by at least ten thousand majority.
Dougherty, Decatur, Baker, Thomas and
Terrell are reported to have given majorities
for Nisbet. Nisbet’s reported majorities in
Upper Georgia are as follows: Cass 300, Mur
ray 500, Whitfield 400, and Floyd 250. Cobb
county gives Brown 100 majority. Jones gives
Nisbet 150 majority, and R. W. Bonner, for
Senator, 400. —Macon Telegraph.
From Brunswick.
We hear verbally, (says the 'Macon Tele
graph) that strong efforts are now being put
forth under the personal supervision of General
Wayne, to make up for lost time and give the
enemy a reception. He is expected confidently.
Strong assurancss have been received from Rich
mond that Brunswick is the destined point of
assault, and the hostile fleet is looked for only
too soon, say in about a week. Meanwhile, the
most judicious disposition possible is being made
of the means of defence at hand. Gen. Wayne,
has, probably, no superior in_thaJcountry as an
engineer, artillerist, or a scientific soldier gene
rally: and there are few men equal to him in
executive tact and energy, lie will do what
can be done in the limited time and with the
scanty means; and he is also assisted by two
experienced civil engineers from Maoon. They
are all looking for lively times and hot work at
Brunswick.
Tak Conventions.— J. D. B. Deßow,the Con
federate Commisssioner to lake charge of the
Cotton Loan, will be in attendance on the Com
mercial and Cotton Planters’ Conventions, in
Macon, and it wilt be highly important for Cot
ton factors throughout the Confederate States,
interested in the receipt and storage of Gov
ernment Cotton, to bo represented.
Rich Gold Vein. —We were shown on Sat
urday last, by Mr. Rufus R. Asbury, of Plea
sant Retreat, a very rich specimen of gold
quartz weighing some eighty pennyweights—
the lump was nearly pure gold—taken from
the Old Loud Vein near that place. Mr. S. also
in formed us that he washed out near 800 dwts
in two hours time. That will do for a rich
vein.— Daklonega Signal.
The Army op the Potomac. —Tho intelli
gence published yesterday, says the Richmond
Dispatch of the Ist inst., relative to the move,
ments of the army of the Potomac, occasioned
some expressions of dissatisfaction among indi
viduals who know nothing of strategy, and who
vehemently protest against any step backward.
Such persons ought to understand that no move
ment is made by wise and experienced Generals
except for good cause and for some definite pur
pose. Criticisms come with bad grace from those
who stay at home and leave others to fight the
battles.
A report reached the city yesterday that the
Federals had advanced as far as Falls Church'
in Fairfax county, and thrown out their pickets’
but judging from their recent stampedes, we
should be disposed to look upon this as at least
questionable. We have it from undoubted au
thority that only two or three days ago some
seven regiments of the enemy made their ap
pearance at Lewinsville with two wagon loads
of entrenching tools, but before they had an op
portunity of commencing their fortifications, two
of our regiments advanced upon them and put
them to flight, nor did they stop until they put
a safe distance between themselves and their pur
suers. They left all their implements behind,
which were seeuied by our troops. Neverthe
less, it seems to be generally believed that a great
battle will take place in a few days.
Davis, accompanied by onp of his
aids, left this city at an early hour yesterday
morning.
Troops Detached from Fremont.— ThoN Y
World says about 5,000 troops have been de
tached from Fremont's command, supposed for
the purpose of aiding Gen. Anderson in cutting
off the rebel line of communication between Ten
nessee and Virginia. This, with the demonstra
tion on the coast which are understood to have
sailed, will coop up the rebel army in Virginia
at the mercy of the elements.
J&Sr*The Yankees at Hatteras, says the Charles
ton Courier, have cut a canal across the point on
which the fort is erected, and above the latter,
to assist in keeping away the Confederate troops.
The water flows very rapidly through this dyke,
which is thereby deepening and widening, and it
is probable the small island on which the fortifi
cation is built will be entirely swept away by the
storms which are common at that locality, espe
cially in winter. The fortifications of Roanoke
Island, twenty-five miles distant from Hatteras,
are progressing rapidly, and vigorous, and judi
cious measures are in progress to prevent any
further intrusion by the Federal .vandals upon
the soil of the Old North State.
Significant.
Bennett’s Herald of Wednesday has the fol
lowing in its money article:
Everybody is aware that several expeditions
of a mixed character are being fitted out for op
erations on the Southern coast, and it ia gener
ally understood that one of them at least is in
tended to seize and re-open to the commerce of
the world a leading cotton port. We recommend
our mercantile readers to keep a very close watch
on this matter. The consequence of a very suc
cessful landing of Union troops at Mobile, New
Orleans, Savannah or Pensacola, and the re-open
ing of such ports to tho cotton trade, would be
very important, and might prove fatal to opera
tors who allowed themselves to be taken by sur
prise by events. The first step of the command
ing general of the Union forces, on occupying
such a port as we have mentioned, would be to
invite all loyal citizens of the South to send
their cotton thither for shipment. It is likely
that the invitation would be very largely accep
ted. There are, it is well known, numbers of
Union men, throughout the South, who would
gladly accept a safe opportunity of returning to
taeir allegiance. Half the people ot New Or
leans are reported to be in this frame of mind.
And besides these, even the most rebellions plan
ters must be in terriblo straits for want of mo •
ney. An offer of fifteen or twenty cents a pound
for cotton, which is now lying idle on their plan
tations, would try their attachment to the rebel
cause somewhat sorely. There must be large
numbers of planters in the Gulf States whose
families are suffering for the want of the neces
saries of life, and j et who have hundreds of bale3
of cotton ready for shipment, and worth, at pres
ent prices, from SBO to SIOO a bale. It is pretty
certain that a sufficient number of these planters
would avail themselves of the re-opening of one
of their ports to create a perfect stampede in tie
cotton market, and a very marked perturbation
in foreign exchange. Operators will do well to
keep this prospect in view.
The horses attached to a wagon passing
down Main street, on yesterday, became rather
unmanageable, and drawing the wagon very near
another vehicle, by which a soldier was standing,
jammed him between the two ami injured him
considerably; not very seriously, however, no
bones being broken. He was taken into the
drug store of Mr. Peyton Johnston, where his
wounds were dressed. He is a member of Capt.
O'Neal’s company, of the Eighteenth Georgia
Regiment. We hear that some of his comrades
standing near, made hostile demonstrations to
wards the driver, which induced him to jump
from his seat and take to his heels, leaving his
wagon and team in their possession ; and that
they declared they would take the prize to their
camp. Whether the threat was carried into ex
ecution or not, we cannot say. —Richmond Dis

She left early this morning, and after com
municating with the the two ships at New*
port's News, proceeded to Hampton Roads.
Flag of Truce.— Just as we go to press, we
learn that a fiag of truce steamer, from Old
Point, is approaching .
Missouri Items.— We clip the following from
the St. Louis Republican of the 2d :
We learn that Gen. Thomas L. Price, of Jef
ferson City, yesteiday received through the Post
Office, from the President, the commission of
Brigadier General in the Army, and that he will
take command at Jefferson City. Gen. Jeff. C.
Davis, of Indiana, who has been in command
there, will “go forward.” Gen. Price is a man
of great energy and decision of character, and
will sustain himself well in his new position.
In addition to what is stated in an article which
is copied from the Hannibal Messenger, we have
most satisfactory assurances that Col. Doniphan
is resting quietly at homo, attending to his pri
vate affairs; that he has published no address,
and given no intimation of any desire or inten
tion to join the rebel forces, or to prove disloyal
to the flag of the United States. All stories of
this kind are canards.
Th Major General commanding this Depart
ment has notified Lucas Soholesky, a Polish of
ficer, that hi3 offer to raise a squadron of lan
cers will be accepted when he has succeeded in
raising the first company.
From the Upper Potomac. —For the past
few days we have had a variety of rumors, as to
the movements of the enemy across the Poto
mac as well as in Hampshire. It is believed,
however, that a division of Banks’ command,
5,000 strong, has again returned to the upper
Potomac, extending their' lines from opposite
Shepherdstown to Williamsport.
Brig. Gen. Carson has gone forth to meet
thorn, and should they attempt to cross the l’oto
mac, another glorious victory will be won by
our invincible troops. Gen Carson Will, for the
present, establish his headquarters in Martins
burg. It is believed by some that he will pass
the Rubicon, and cross into Maryland, but we
do not credit the report.
From Hampshire we Lave the exciting rumor,
that Col. McDonald, and bis entiro command,
wus surrounded a few miles west of Romney and
captured. This news, however, we can scarcely
credit, and trust to be able to give reliable infer
matiou of his successful resistance of the Feder
alists, bofore going to press.
P. S. —Late and reliable news direct from Col.
McDonald’s camp, give tho lie to the exaggera
ted rumors of the capture of his command, with
his death, and that of Captains Wingfield, Sheet z
and Jordan.
On Tuesday morning the enemy appeared in
overwhelming numbers near Romney, and opeu
ed fire upon his camp. Finding that his caval
ry could not be made available, owing to the
peculiar locality of the country, Col McDonald
fell back six miles this side Romney. On Wed
nesday. tnorning, with a considerable force ot
militia together withTiis cavalry, he returned to
drive the enemy from their position. The re
suit of this expedition we have not yet learned.—
Winchester [ Va ] Republican, Sept. 27.
The fate op Traitors.— There is no doubt
lhat the vilest treachery was practiced on the
Manassas Railroad to defeat a junction between
the forces of Gens. Johnston and Beauregard.—
The train conductor, when seized and charge.!
with Lis treason, confessed to having been tam
pered with by the enemy, and to have received
the sum of eight hundred dollars to contrive to
defeat the union of our I .rces. .So soon as he
arrived at Manassas, lu » is tried and ordered
by Gen. Beauregard to le * hot. It is only by
such stern and severe . - .mples that treason
can be put down arid our .-.u.diers preserved from
destruction. Had the bribed wretch accomplish
ed his purpose, we might instead of recording a
victory, have been compelled to chronicle a fear
ful and disastrous defeat, ‘entailing consequen
ces too sickening to dwell upon.
Uur informant learned on the same day a like
stern visitation of justice wa3 meted out to a
recreant German, (aught in the act of piloting
the enemy in their march on our lines.—Rich
mond Examiner.
Would t:e Glad to Get Back. — We learn
from Old Point that many of the negroes who
have been captured by the force there, ex
press themselves very anxious to.get back io
their masters. It is said, and conforms very
much to the general opinion in the South, that
the Y ankees make the severest and most cruel
masters to slaves ol any people on the face of
the globe. The poor deluded wretches lhat
they have induced into their power at the
Point, are worked in gangs, under a strict
guard, and served worse than the Indians
serve their captives. After working hard on
the fortifications all day long, with no chance
to stop and rest, with a guard standing over
them to apply the lash, they are mustered into
their miserable quarters and there closely con
fined. Their fare consists principally of the
camp refuse, such stuff as no white Southern
er would pretend to offer his slave.— Norfolk
